Does your caravan have a name?

[Steve1962]

I heard on the radio yesterday that one bloke has given his caravan a name……
Jean Claude Caravandamme🤣🤣🤣

Ours is called Doris (SWMBO loves a certain singer from a bygone era)

Fess up you guys!

Boringly, just "Lunar" to distinguish it from the Bailey and Ace we had previously - and it's "my car" not "our car" !!!

 

[Mr Plodd]

I for one simply cannot comprehend why some people insist on "naming" inanimate objects such as cars, caravans, boats motorhomes etc.
I will now confess that mine does indeed have a name that we both use........
"The Caravan" 🙄

I don't anthropomorise anything non - human but Mrs V calls ours Dora the Xplora

 

[Ferrodo]

Swift 560 Conqueror called…… William

 

[borderbilly]

I just call it " the van "

A friend of mine had an Elddis, we named it the tea bag as it leaked so much

We just called ours Abbey

 

[Jcloughie]

When we toured with friends we used walkie talkies. They had a Bessacarr, therefore Bessie. We had an Abbey. Was not a great idea as you had to be within a few yards of each other to get reception.

Abbey, over and out.

Also why do people apportion a gender to inanimate things they are not a he or a she but definitely just an "it"
When doing repairs or adjusting movers is the only time that I have given our van a few "choice" names

Our cars have gender aligned descriptors .....Yours or Mine

My satnavs are always "she" as I select female voices - to feel less guilty when I ignore them!

Aren't you being just a little pedantic?

(BTW, it is anthropomorphise)

No, just showing off. 😉

The spelling mistake is due to my phone keyboard. It's a relation called Sam Sung.

What I call mine when it has a problem is not fit for such genteel foumites!!!!

My wife used to name cars based on registration letters. HRY was Henry, AUD was Audrey etc. I just don’t have the inclination!

A neighbouring couple, who are both retired police officers, seem to name their neighbours cars according to mnemonics they used in the force, so my WFDnnnC was Wild Flying Duck.

 

[DaveA1]

Just call them "The Van and The Motor"
